It is doubtful if anything is more fascinating tc the 

 young as well as to the older members of the household 

 than to watcli the development of animal and plant life in 

 the aquaria. Fish will not thrive unless enough plants are 

 growing to furnish them with oxygen. To do this there 

 should be not less than one plant to every two gallons of 

 water. The ideal temperature is about 50 degrees, and 

 a shady corner, or a window facing north, is best during 

 the summer, and an east window during the winter.
